WHAT IT DOES: This 3-hour facilitated brainstorming session guides teams to creatively stretch their program’s reach and depth of impact. Imaginative and generative ideas are devised.
HOW IT WORKS: Participants are assisted to: 1) stretch their collective perception of what’s possible; 2) explore ways to enliven their program with more of its best qualities, and 3) consider how best to ennoble participants to more fully engage. These exercises lead to discovery of generative ideas that programs can plant in many aspects of their work with real promise.
UNIQUE FEATURES: : Leads to enlivened program designs that resonate with participants’ core values. Triggers discovery of strategies that will shift program focus in subtle ways and yield profound and exciting results. Focuses on ways to productively activate clients, community members and new friends.
